First, Sherman Alexie put out the call for authors to show their support of their local independent bookstores by serving as a bookseller for a day, and now Kate DiCamillo is putting out the call for all children's book authors to support their local independent by participating in, the first ever, Indies First Storytime!

“The point is to read aloud, to celebrate stories and to celebrate the indies who work so hard to put our stories in the hands of readers.” – Kate DiCamillo.

Those wishing to get books signed will be asked to purchase at least one copy of the author's most recent title from Vroman's. For each purchased copy of the newest title, customers may bring up to three copies from home to be signed. This policy applies to all Vroman's Bookstore events unless otherwise noted. Save your Vroman's receipt; it will be checked when you enter the signing line.
